Get ready for an unforgettable Thanksgiving morning at the inaugural Black Mountain Turkey Trot! Imagine crisp mountain air filling your lungs as golden autumn leaves crunch beneath your feet. Transform your Thanksgiving morning with a new tradition of community, health, and gratitude.

This North Carolina Turkey Trot is only 20 minutes from Downtown Asheville, located in the the beautiful town of Black Mountain, North Carolina, a small, artistic town in Buncombe County known for its scenic mountain setting, creative energy, and historic downtown - also named one of "America's Prettiest Small Towns" by TripAdvisor!
